    The temperature increased sharply at the end of May, and Tokaido ushered in the most important rainy season of the year. The continuous heavy rain wiped out the enthusiasm of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Tokaido. The war on the Nagara River also came to a standstill. Taking advantage of the short rest,  During this period, Minamoto no Yoshitoki handed over the affairs of the Jindai to Yukitaka Sanada as his deputy, and returned to Seiju Castle from Komakiyama Castle to preside over the military meeting.  Affected by the favorable influence of the pacification of Ise Kingdom, Minamoto Yoshitoki decided to send more troops to follow up. He ordered Hojo Tokimasa to command 40,000 troops, with Nagao Yoshikage as his deputy and Nagano Yamori as the vanguard, to attack Iga Kingdom first.  Joined forces with the Iga ninjas and launched an offensive against Yamato and Minami Omi. The main force of this camp only retained 140,000 troops from Owari to confront the Western Army.  The handling of military affairs is one aspect, and the more important thing is the handling of prisoners of war. For example, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who escaped from Okazaki Castle and took refuge in Cheongju Castle. When the army was approaching the city, he tried to disguise himself as a farmer and get through. When he was captured and rushed into Cheongju Castle, Tokugawa Ieyasu  At that moment, he was greeted by countless hateful glances as sharp as swords.  "Tokugawa Ieyasu Tokugawa Ieyasu!" Ignoring the dozens of stiff-necked samurai behind him, and looking coldly at the honest and honest guy who looked like a peasant, Minamoto Yoshiki pulled out his folding fan and tapped the tatami mat gently, and suddenly asked  : "I've heard for a long time that the Matsudaira clan was descended from Kamo's courtiers, but I don't know why you abandoned the Matsudaira clan for the Tokugawa clan?" Tokugawa Ieyasu said tremblingly: "I the origin of the word Miao is"  Minamoto Yoshitoki ignored him at all, stared at Tokugawa Ieyasu's honest and simple face, and said: "I also heard that this is another solution of the Tokugawa clan. It comes from the Nitta clan, the first-class Tokugawa Yoshiki, and a branch of the Seroda clan. It seems to be  Your ancestor had a samurai who married into Songping Township, right? " "There is absolutely no such thing" Tokugawa Ieyasu broke out in a cold sweat. He really couldn't figure out how his dirty thoughts could be discovered.  , this is a bold idea that has never been announced to the public. The master in front of him is the famous Minamoto family, one of the powerful martial arts families of Minamoto Yiguo.  Pretending to be a descendant of Minamoto no Yoshikuni in front of him is not much easier than pie in the sky.  In the more than five hundred years since the rise of the samurai family in the Heian period, there have been almost no traces of those who pretended to take the family name. It was not until the shogunate lost power in recent decades that this unhealthy trend gradually emerged. Tokugawa Ieyasu changed his name to imitate those pretenders, such as Genji  It is obviously the most cost-effective to pretend to be a relative of the current shogun. ??????????????? But the Ashikaga clan¡¯s lineage is clear and clear, and the Ashikaga clan can be found everywhere from Yu¡¯o to Kyushu.  Not to mention that pretending to claim is not valuable, even the Ashikaga relatives with real money are not very valuable. The only ones that are really valuable are the Ashikaga Ichimon who can be ranked high. However, it is very difficult to pretend to claim these families.  So after much thought, he decided to pretend to take over the exterminated Nitta clan. There were many samurai families in Ueno Kingdom who claimed to be the Nitta clan, including the Iwamatsu clan and his retainer Yura clan.  The Odate clan and the Yamana clan, both members of the Nitta clan, are still alive, and the Satomi clan also has branches. Only after turning seven or eight corners did it find the Serota clan, a branch of the Tokugawa clan, as its own.  Under Tokugawa Ieyasu's frightened gaze, Minamoto no Yoshitoki suddenly sneered: "I have to say that you are really brave. You dare not choose to harm yourself to preserve your statement. What kind of courage do you have to dare to stand alive in Yu's life?"  "This is a confusing question!" "I" Tokugawa Ieyasu broke out in a cold sweat and knelt on the ground and begged: "I dare to swear to gods and Buddhas that I have absolutely no intention of harming the Kira family.  , I just want to force Kira Mikawa to submit, that's all!" "Maybe you don't have this idea, or maybe you are just lying to me" Yuanyoshi's tone suddenly changed and he said: "But these are all!  It¡¯s not important! What¡¯s important is that Yu¡¯s great-uncle, uncle, brother, and all the maids in the city are all dead. " "I" Tokugawa Ieyasu noticed that his clothes were already dead.  Qing Qing was soaked, and her throat was as dry as fire. She swallowed hard and lowered her head and said: "I am willing to die in exchange for" "Don't negotiate a deal with Yu, you are not worthy." Yuan Yishi stood up and walked away.  He looked at the group of stiff-headed Matsudaira samurai behind Tokugawa Ieyasu, glanced at their expressions of despair, and then turned to look at Tokugawa Ieyasu's expectant expression.  He chuckled and said: "Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sekiguchi Sena broke up. The Matsudaira clan was executed except for the Ohkusa and Sakurai clans. Tokugawa Ieyasu and his son Takechiyo are the leaders!" "Ah! How dare you" Honda  Tadakatsu was furious and stood up to rush towards Ashikaga Yoshitomo.  The Matsudaira samurai, who was grabbed by the tall and powerful Kakizaki Yoshie and whose weapons were confiscated, was no match for the wolf-like bodyguards. He was easily captured by dozens of strong men who followed him.  "Why why" Tokugawa Ieyasu sat on the ground as if mourning for his heir, wailing: "Why can't I die alone why can't I let go of my child Takechiyo." "Because of what? Okay, I tell you."Why are you" Minamoto Yoshitoki grabbed Tokugawa Ieyasu's collar and said murderously: "Because you made Yu's relatives die, you made Yu feel shameful and despicable like a reptile like you."  You dare to kill a whole family of my Yuan family. You regard the majesty of my Yuan family as if it were nothing. You also think that Yu¡¯s sword is not sharp enough and want to test it with your own head and that of your entire family!  " Tokugawa Ieyasu was trembling like chaff, and his whole body was as soft as mud. He was choked with sobs for a long time and couldn't cry out a word of supplication. He could only watch Minamoto no Yoshiki throw him to the bodyguards, and stare at him being pulled away.  The figure slowly said: "So you deserve to die, you deserve to die a long time ago!  I just want to help you and send your whole family to reunite in the underworld.  " Honda Toki was sweeping over the captured Honda Hirotaka, Honda Toki, and Honda Tadashi in the team. He bowed and said, "Please tell me, my Lord, what should I do with the Tokugawa retainers?  " When Minamoto no Yoshi glanced at some obviously reluctant samurai in the queue, he muttered: "Those who are willing to follow Tokugawa Ieyasu and die can come forward now, and I will give him a chance to fulfill his loyalty.  " "Whoever is afraid of your threats is just a matter of death!  "Honda Tadakatsu struggled fiercely. However, Kakizaki Yoshie was a head and a half taller than him and was so strong that it was not easy to capture a dwarf who was only 1.4 meters tall. Honda Tadakatsu's performance was also very interesting. The struggle  However, he cursed loudly, and before he could even curse him twice, the faces of the samurai in the hall changed. Honda Hirotaka couldn't stand it, and he shouted in a low voice: "Heihachiro, shut up!"  " "Hikosaburo, what are you afraid of?  Isn't it just death?  Am I still afraid of death while waiting for a samurai?  ah!  "Honda Tadakatsu shouted loudly, for fear that others would not know that he was not afraid of death. Yuanyoshi smiled indifferently: "Since you want to die so much, I will help you.  There are only those among the Tokugawa retainers who want to die to remain loyal, so let them all do so!  " In panic and confusion, Tokugawa Ieyasu was forcibly carried out of Ohiroma by two samurai. Also carried away with him were Honda Tadakatsu, Torii Tadayoshi, Torii Motada, Abe Tadamasa, and Okubo Tadaka.  , Ishikawa Ienari, Sakai Tadatsuji, Hiraiwa Oikayoshi, Natsume Yoshinobu, Uemura Iagomori and other loyal ministers all died, but the interesting thing is that most of their families chose to survive, and would rather live with humiliation than be exterminated.  Except for the impulsive Honda Tadakatsu, most of the Honda family members chose to survive, such as Osuga Yasutaka, Sakakibara Kiyomasa, Sakakihara Yasumasa and other former ministers of the Kira family, who took the opportunity to return and represent the new generation of the Tokugawa family.  The powerful samurai brothers Okubo Tadashi and Okubo Tadusa expressed their submission. The broken ship of the Tokugawa family was destined to sink. Rather than being buried with it, it was better to struggle to survive. All the hundreds of Matsudaira clan members were killed, and the women were given to them.  The samurai served as concubines. Sekiguchi Sena was betrothed to Watanabe Moritsuna as the main wife. Matsudaira Masahisa, the family governor of the Ohkusa Matsudaira clan, changed his name to the original Miao name of the Saigo clan. The Sakurai Matsudaira family changed its ancestral name to Sakurai.  A samurai family called the Matsudaira clan. Except for a few hypocritical samurai who neither wanted to die nor serve as officials, they voluntarily returned to farming. All the living members of the Tokugawa family tree chose to join the Ashikaga clan without exception. Sakakibara Yasumasa and Okubo Tadayo, who had extraordinary military command skills.  , Okubo Tadasa, Ishikawa Sumasa and Aoyama Tadamon were well placed. Among these people, he found an interesting samurai named Ozo Changan, whose father was Ozo Taifu, the Sarugaku master of the Takeda family.  Juro Shinan, studied under Kinharu's sect and met Zashou Imharu Kisho. His sect is the Ozo-ryu that was founded by Imharu-ryu specializing in Kyogen. This is a long-established Daizo-ryu, and its founding happened to be the era when Ozo Shinian was born.  Ozo Shinan moved from Harimo Kingdom to Kai Kingdom and worked under Takeda Shingen as the royal saru guru. His son Ozo Changan disliked the low status of saru gakushu and turned to learn the skills of internal affairs under several outstanding monks in Kai.  , his unique secret skills of calculation and multitasking won the trust of Takeda Shingen. He served as the mining executive of Kurokawa Kanayama in his teens, and served as the main leader of Minami Shinano Kinji Kanayama. As the Takeda family expanded, Junyuan.  Three territories, and then transferred to Suruga Kaneyama's duty, and then the direction of his duties was transferred from Suruga to Enema Castle Town, and then to Mikawa Kingdom to serve as the deputy commander of the retainers of the Tokugawa family.  The leap gave him great benefits, and at the same time, he became confused and entangled with the Tokugawa retainers. Among them, he had a particularly close relationship with the brothers Okubo Tadashi and Okubo Tadashi, and was persuaded by Okubo Tadashi to marry their daughter.  As the wife of the royal family, before this secret betrayal could be discovered, he learned that the Takeda family had been severely damaged and Shun Enzo lost control. He also sneaked into Okubo's house and hid. At this moment, the Okubo brothers surrendered, and he had no choice but to do so.  Come out and show your face. "Ozo Changan is now renamed Okubo Changan, his father-in-law is Okubo Tadashi, and his sworn brother is Okubo Tadashi" Minamoto felt like laughing but couldn't.??I felt that after all the twists and turns, Ozo Changan still became attached to the Okubo family. After thinking for a while, he said: "Although he is a corrupt official, his ability is still good. When he is in a different place, he will not have the chance to monopolize power, so let him do it."  "Follow it." Then Minamoto no Yoshitomo ordered Saijo Castle, the old territory of Mikawa Kingdom, to be razed and a thousand red leaf trees and a thousand cherry blossom trees to be planted nearby. This was to commemorate his mother who died young.  Ai Ji, she loves the beautiful scenery of Kyoto when the maple leaves are red most. Viewing the cherry blossoms in Kyoto in the spring and the maple leaves in the autumn are the most wonderful enjoyments. Of course, her favorite flowers during her lifetime are also indispensable. She built a red leaf monument on the original site of the old city.  The main deities enshrined in the shrine are his father Kira Yoshiyao and his mother Nakain Aihime. The early death of his father and mother is a great regret for him. He can only use this garden full of cherry blossoms and red maples to commemorate his deceased relatives. I hope this  Couples can live more comfortably in heaven.  In addition, a Saijo Shrine was built opposite Momiji Shrine. The main deities enshrined are his two brothers Kira Yoshigo and Kira Yoshian, his uncle Kira Yoshitomi, and his uncle Kira Yoshiaki. The deputy deities are Nobutada Ohuchi and Yao Yamaoka.  Yuan and several other victims including the maid with a minor surname who died in Saijo Castle, the name, origin, age and even life of each person are recorded, so that these people who died for the Kira family can also enjoy a piece of incense in the kingdom of heaven.  Blessings, this is probably the only useful praise for those who are loyal.  After dealing with all this, it was already the beginning of June, which was the season of heavy rains and floods. He needed to sort out the military affairs before the battle and a lot of government affairs transferred from his hometown Edo Castle. In his spare time, he also had to take care of his legitimate son.  Regarding his studies, Yuan Yishi always comes and goes in a hurry. Father and son rarely talk to each other recently. He needs to take time to talk to his legitimate son.  The father and son once again sat down to talk. This mode of relatively equal questions and answers was very popular with him. Ashikaga Yoshiyasu asked: "My son has heard his father say several times that among the outstanding figures in the world today,  , there is the name Oda Kamisuke Nobunaga. However, this man chose to support Ashikaga Yoshiaki in coming to the capital and became the enemy of our Ashikaga family, and then deposed the emperor and repeatedly rebelled. This man should be a relative and ally of my Ashikaga family.  "Why would you do such a thing?" Minamoto nods and smiles: "Oda Nobunaga is indeed a heroic figure today. Yu's Inugomae and Ichigozen are also daughters of the Oda family, but this person is not very close to Yu. His ambitions  It was Shangluo who became the hegemon and even replaced the Ashikaga family. This was something I could not allow. He also knew very well that this idea could not be supported by Yu, which was why Shangluo decided to support Ashikaga Yoshiakichi in seeking hegemony.  Yoshiaki's pursuit of wealth and wealth coincided with the idea of ??gaining wealth and honor through risks, and deposing the emperor was a desperate attempt to gain wealth and honor. These two gains made him go from a Japanese samurai in Owari to three counselors and deputy shogunate of the shogunate in an instant, and he also exerted influence on Kinai.  The territories of the five countries suddenly became the overlord of Kinai. The above gains are not small, which can never be obtained by following me. " Ashikaga Yoshiyasu nodded thoughtfully, and asked after a while: "Then Oda Nobu.  Nagagen defeated the puppet court, attacked Sakamoto, burned Mount Hiei, and captured the emperor everywhere. All of the above were perverse, unconscionable, and outraged by both humans and gods. Yet this man was able to sit firmly in the Kinai and dispatch the army, and mobilize the people of Mino and Owari to start a rebellion. What is the truth?  "Why?" Yuanyoshi did not answer his question directly. He shook his head and smiled: "If Saburo puts himself in Oda Nobunaga's situation and learns that Yu led 230,000 Eastern Kingdom elites to Luo to defeat the rebellious ministers, what will happen to you?  There are three paths to choose from. The first is to attack Sakamoto, the second is to support Echizen, and the third is to defend Mino or Mikawa. How should you choose?"
